Sweatshop Union - Lead the Way lyrics

[Intro] Ain't nobody gonna lead the way It's up to you and me to make the differences we're trying to see And take control of our own minds (How many people got control of their minds?) Take control of our own minds Stop letting them shape and mold until we go blind Unlock your brain and set your mind state free. Set your mind state free [Verse One] Once you open the door, their ain't no closing it you're A soldier at war, living within the core of the storm Just like the war on CNN, a war where these men send Missiles at innocent victims and swore to defend them I'm talking about the war for your soul and the core of the goal Ownership of everything and total control Over every facet of life that we live Hell, that's the reason that we rap on the mics to these kids Trying to reach them so they'll stand up and fight to resist the system Help their minds get equipped quicker cause the cycle just gets sicker The more that we sip liquor and hope that it gets rid of The problems and makes life better, it's more video I'm not a bullsh**ter man, everything that glitters can't Be gold, we sold our souls for so little land Now, we gotta stop following these fake leaders And stand proud and stop swallowing what they feed us [Chorus] Ain't nobody gonna lead the way It's up to you and me to make the differences we're trying to see And take control of our own minds Stop letting them shape and mold until we go blind [Verse Two] Yo, Once you open your eyes, there ain't no going back to closing your mind It shows in the shine, not knowing you're frozen in time From Atlantis to Suma Babylon to Rome and To the avid consumer who just travels on the road from Plato to NATO, to the gavel that they hold To the billions of children, like cattle that they sold Every day it's like a battle for your soul Be aware of all the weapons that you have at your disposal Know, without a doubt in your heart and soul that No man can stop you from reaching the hardest goal but You, allow it to happen Cowards, you got the power to stop them The power to trap them and lock them in They can't live without your fear, like it was oxygen So breathe in deep and expel the fear and toxins Stand with me, you might feel the sand shifting And step away from the sins of our ancestry [Outro] Ain't nobody gonna lead the way It's up to you and me to make the differences we're trying to see And take control of our own minds (How many people got control of their minds?) Ain't nobody gonna lead the way It's up to you and me to make the differences we're trying to see And take control of our own minds Stop letting them shape and mold until we go blind
